1. Footprint Metric: This metric is to gauge and recognise the reach of the movement in India and what activities that we are collaborating, developing, curating in order to increase the footprint (Consultations, Outreach events, Meet-ups, Celebratory events funded by us...)

2. Bytes deleted as Quality initiative: We have discussed this in our last progress report

QUESTION 4 edit

How does your organization know what community members and contributors to online projects need or want? Does your organization conduct needs assessments or consult the contributors and volunteers most involved with its work? • CIS-A2K strongly believes in the value of the Wikimedia movement that the community is "the biggest asset". CIS-A2K regularly conducts need-assessment surveys and provides special attention towards the suggestions and feedback of the community members. CIS-A2K conducts both online and offline surveys and tries to stay in constant touch with the community. In order to actively engage with the community members, CIS-A2K regularly responds to the feedback and concerns put forth by the community members.

• CIS-A2K has appointed Community Advocates for its Focus Language Areas in order to keep a finger on the pulse of the community and pay due attention to the specific requirements of the community. In addition to understanding the needs of the community, they are tasked with the responsibility of strategizing how best to address these concerns. They then propose the potential solutions on the Village Pump of the respective language Wikipedias for gathering consensus on the same. CIS-A2K attempts to incorporate and accommodate the suggestions of the community members. This is not only to ensure the democratization of the process but also to involve the community members at every step of the planning and implementation process.

• CIS-A2K also maintains a Requests page which actively encourages individuals and communities to request support for projects and communities related to Indic language Wikimedia. In order to bring about tangible impact of the needs of the community members, this year, we aim to narrow down on the specific technical needs of the community with the creation of a Technical Requests page. This page is dedicated to addressing the technical requests of the Indic language communities throughout the year. CIS-A2K hopes that a page devoted to addressing technical challenges would enable the speedy fixing of bugs, unresolved errors and other problems that are faced by the communities.

GLAM

With a growing interest in GLAM related activities each year from the Indic Wikimedia communities, CIS-A2K plans to integrate GLAM activities and outreach more widely across our Focus Language and Non- Focus Language Areas this year. We aim to tap into the strengths that each language or region provides by working closely with the community and their specific needs. Additionally, these GLAM activities are being incorporated into the three non-language verticals: skill-building, global engagement and bridging the gender gap. This helps us target communities of interest with programs like Wikimedian in Residence. This enables the publishing of content from the GLAM institutions onto Wikipedia. However, in understanding the difficulties of working with Indian galleries, libraries, museums and archives, we seek to improvise on activities we have conducted in the past such as photo-walks, digitization sprints, etc. In programmatic terms, we would attempt to explore possible collaborations with local institutions that would be interested in re-licensing their archives or materials under free licences. In movement terms, we would be bridging the gap with regards to collaborating with communities of interest. Within these two components, CIS-A2K aims to tap into the global guidance these projects could receive from our engagement with international Wikimedia chapters and affiliates.

Goal

To combine language and non-language verticals in partnering with like-minded institutions in order to help Indic Wikimedians enrich the quality of their work on Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons and other Wiki projects.

Objectives

Continuing to tap into the individual strengths of communities for GLAM related activities by actively collaborating with the community through needs assessment.
Partnering with institutions that are willing to explore the world of free and open knowledge and bringing their content onto Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, etc.
Incorporating global initiatives such as Wikimedian in Residence into our programs in order to cultivate community leadership and strengthen institutional partnerships.
Engaging with communities of interest through programs like Wikimedians Walk where Wikimedians will interact with a subject expert and use the information, images, references to enrich articles.
Conduct resource exchange programs with libraries and archives in order to create a digital/ physical resource centre for language communities
